Bedwellty House & Park Wins Best Cafe Food Award 2019

Last week saw our Orchid House Tea Room at Bedwellty House & Park triumph at the first ever Welsh Café Awards in Cardiff, winning the award for Best Café Food and also coming runner up for the Best Visitors Café award.

Over 200 café professionals from all over Wales gathered together at The Exchange Hotel to recognise and celebrate the very best in the coffee industry.

The gala awards night was hosted by radio persona, Polly James, and provided a platform to thank those in the café industry that always have fresh and delicious hot beverages, savouries and pastries ready to be served to their customers.

Irfan Younis, CEO of Creative Oceanic, the company behind the awards said: “Although in our first year, we are honoured by the fantastic response we have had from the public who was so keen to vote for their favourite cafés.

“The cafe industry has grown massively over the past years and we aimed to seek out, reward and thank those who have managed to make a real difference by introducing innovation in this industry.

“The awards also aimed to acknowledge everything that is coffee related and showcase that Welsh people are big coffee lovers. It was lovely to be part of this celebration and we would like to congratulate all finalists and winners for their achievements!”

Phill Sykes, Commercial Director at Aneurin Leisure, the charitable Trust that manages Bedwellty House said of their experience; "We are thrilled to have won the award for Best Cafe Food and to be a runner up for the Best Visitors Cafe award at the Welsh Cafe Awards. We have been overwhelmed by the response from our customers and the local community, and would like to take the opportunity to thank them all for their amazing support.

We take great pride in the quality of our food and afternoon teas, always striving to offer the best quality that we can, so to achieve recognition at such a prestigious event filled with top quality businesses from all over Wales, is a dream come true."
